A desiccated rodent, consistent with a mouse or small rat, lies centrally on its dorsal side on a light-colored tiled floor in the city of Deir el-Balah, Palestinian Territory. The animal exhibits a pale gray-brown coloration, with visible features of desiccation. Its tail is slender and partially curled. The floor consists of off-white or beige ceramic tiles, approximately square or rectangular, demarcated by dark gray grout lines forming a grid pattern, with two prominent lines intersecting near the center of the frame. The tiled surface and grout show minor dust accumulation and evidence of wear. No other subjects, actions, or interactions are depicted.
